68 pitches through 3.

We should be able to get 5 out of him, and probably starting the 6th.

An inning each from Crichton and Castro.   More if we are down.

If we are winning, we try to get an inning each out of Brach and O'Day.

O'Day should be fresh.

The Savior of our Bullpen!

22 yo 6'5" righthander, said to throw hard.   Was a Blue Jay prospect who went to Colorado in the Tulowitzki deal.   Did not do well with the Rockies and was a roster casualty at the end of spring training, Duquette traded a box of balls for him.

Toronto's former closer. Traded for Troy Tulowitzki.

This Schoop fellow can hit, eh?  Quick hands, dropped the bat head right onto the ball.  Great swing. 

[Emory Eagle]

However this at-bat turns out, it's been a good one.  Just need to make contact.  

[SteveA]

Gary apparently lied a few minutes ago when he said "a base hit will score two".

But nice piece of hitting by Castillo!

[Aristotelian]

Great AB Castillo. Felt that one coming the whole way.

[Chavez Ravine]

 I like those at bats when we are hitting.

[Emory Eagle]

Now let's get eleven more and call it a night. 

[spiritof66]

Not unusual, but Palmer is really on tonight (IMO).

[Chavez Ravine]

Roy special!

[TheWall]

Great at-bat by Castillo. Good piece of situational hitting by Trey. All good things.

Mancini with the RBI (Roy Backs It) sac fly. 

[Emory Eagle]

Will Seth get a fastball to hit here? 

[Aristotelian]

Manny made that a little close. Somehow timed it perfectly.

[SteveA]

There's Manny reading the commissioner's signature on the ball again before making the throw.

If our commish had a long last name like, say, Tagliabue, the runner probably would have been safe.
